VIRSLIGAS WINTER CUP
GROUP DRAW - GROUP A
First time being in the 'A' group of teams. I feel it'll come down to the Spartaks game to see who'll make it to...
After digesting the bitter pill of relegation for the second time in my career (I’m now officially par with Harry Redknapp), attention turns back to Latvia for another shot at the prize. A club who no longer function but still alive in game, F...
Nation: Latvia
Media Prediction (Odds): 2nd/8 (7-2)
Expectations: Challenge for league
Pros: Strong team in the division. Recent winners for the Virsliga. Already in Europe for next season. Good quality in attackers and wingers.
Cons: Average transf...
@HockeyBhoy - What hurts is that we definitely had a quality team to stay up but they persistently let me down.
@Eric Portapotty - Probably best to move on, either that or springboard back next season.

So many things going wrong at present. Erol Gedik has been a liability since his arrival and has the temerity to skip hop and jump to go out on the lash. To make matters worse we collapsed in a winnable game, leading earl...
Do it.
@tongey - Exceptional read, you're putting my save to shame. MLS is a notoriously difficult league to win but well done on it, also your work with Den Haag. Great stuff!
@Eric Portapotty - Silver linings don't come easy in Georgia, this has been a total circus for Batumi.
@Dan - I'm hoping I won't choke this. Knowing me, I've already probably cursed us.
@tongey - This is more like nuclear diarrhea ti...
Steady start, great win over TNS.
@Eric Portapotty - It's a 36 game season.

That's such a heartbreaking end of season run in to lose by a single point. Still outstanding work getting them to a Europa League knockout.
Yikes, the Latinos seems to be struggling more than trying to reach the US border. I'd question if you're wasting time in the Cayman Islands. Better jobs are out there.
Ah, fellow Dubliner. Very interesting pick of team, hope it goes well!
@Eric Portapotty - Starting to think I should avoid Gibraltar altogether, just doesn't fit my playing style. Hopefully Batumi are a shred better than Lincoln.

@b0nb0n - Yeah, Gibraltar hasn't been a strong point for me on this save. May avoid it going forward.

Nation: Kosovo
Media Prediction (Odds): 1st/12 (Evens F)

Pros: League holders. Front runners in Kosovo. Only finished outside top three once in six seasons. Solid wage budget. A chance to finally tick off this nation.
